B. Forewing without a discal spot in area 4. Hindwing above with three hyaline spots, one in the discal cell 
and one each in 2 and 3. 
a. Hindwing beneath yellowish with a dark marginal band. G. mabillei. 
p. Hindwing beneath blackish-grey and on both sides with hyaline spots also in 2 and 3. G. cybeutes. 
G. nieza Hew. (= batea Plotz, bubovi Karsch). The subapical dots of the forewing are all small, 
punctiform, and situate in a straight line. Hindwing beneath dark brown with two still somewhat darker 
transverse bands, one at the base, very broad, and one behind the centre; the discal spots above in 2 to 4 
are here yellowish-brown and rather indistinct, in the centre and at the margin the ground-colour is more or 
less strewn with violettish-grey scales. Togo Land to Angola. 
G. mabillei Holl. (77 d) is above very similar to the following species, but it differs by the light ground¬ 
colour of the hindwing beneath; the latter shows two black longitudinal streaks from the base to the hyaline 
spot of the discal cell, a black basal dot in 7 and some small dark discal dots, generally one each in 1 c, 4, 
5, and 7. Ogowe Valley. 
G. cybeutes Holl. (77 d). The subapical dot 6 of the forewing is somewhat larger and nearer to the 
margin than the two others. The hindwing beneath is blackish-grey and beside the hyaline spots it shows white 
basal dots in 1 c (and 7), some white discal spots (at least 2) in 1 c, and a whitish marginal spot in 1 b. 
Cameroon and French Congo. —- pallida Holl. Hindwing beneath lighter with indistinct markings. 
The species of the following two genera are only known to me from the descriptions and figures. They are large 
or of medium size and very strongly built, with a stout body, and only occur in Madagascar. One species described by 
Trimen from East Africa probably does not belong hereto. They were formerly ranged among the genus Trapezites only known 
from Australia, but Mabille in dealing with the Hesperidae in ,,Genera Insectorum'‘ distributes them among the two following 
new genera. As Mabilles genera, as is stated in the review, are only distinguished by the formation of the posterior tarsi 
of the fastuosus and empyreus being placed to Manorina, but catocalinus and carmides to Malaza, it is impossible 
for me to distribute among Mabi lie’s genera the other species which are for the present placed by Mabille to Pardaleodes, 
as well as those that were later on described as Trapezites by Oberthur. I am therefore compelled to supply a conjoint review 
of all the species probably belonging to this division, and cannot decide upon their generic position. 
Review of the Species hitherto describe d from Madagascar as ,,T r a p e z i t e s“. 
A. Hindwing above with two yellow transverse bands, one across the apex of the discal cell and one behind 
the centre. Forewing above either without spots or only with three small, entirely separated spots, one 
(being double) in the discal cell and one each in 2 and 3. 
a. Hindwing beneath reddish-brown or violettish-brown without black spots. Malaza. Mab. 
*. Hindwing beneath uni-coloured without spots. M. catocalina. 
**. Hindwing beneath in the centre with a large rounded silvery spot. M. carmides. 
S. Hindwing beneath of a bright red with black spots at least at the base and before the margin, and with 
a black longitudinal streak in area 1 b, besides with 2 to 4 large yellow or whitish spots. —- Manorina Mab. 
*. Hindwing beneath with two large yellow spots proximally and distally bordered by black dots. 
Expanse of wings about 35 mm. Forewing in the without spots, in the $ with three small yellowish 
spots. M. empyrea. 
**. Hindwing beneath with 4 large, roundish or angular silvery spots, one in the cell, one in 4 and 5 
at the cell-apex, and two in 1 c, the exterior spot being double. Expanse of wings about 52 mm. 
Forewing spotless. M. fastuosa. 
B. Hindwing above only with a yellow transverse band or without a marking, only in the centre and at- the 
base with grey or yellowish hair. Forewing above with a yellow discal spot in 1 b and always with a 
double spot in the discal cell, and with discal spots in 2 and 3, which are contiguous or at least very close 
together. 
a. Hindwing beneath without spots or only with indistinct dark dots or spots. 
*. Hindwing above with a well defined yellowish or yellow transverse band composed of distinct spots. 
§. Hindwing beneath at the hind-margin lighter, of a whitish colour. Subapical dots of the 
forewing absent or only represented by one. 
1. Ground-colour of the hindwing beneath yellowish. T. (?) howa. 
2. Ground-colour of the hindwing beneath brown or greenish-grey. T. (?) varians. 
§§. Hindwing beneath not lighter at the hind-margin. Forewing with three whitish subapicaldots.
